Chapter 6474 Reinforcements Arrive
Hundreds of thousands of experts charged the barrier, and their combined attacks rained down like a storm.
Kun Gang observed from a distance, a calculating smile on his face. He understood that everyone was holding back, conserving their strength for the final fight over the Earth Cauldron. Yet, every second they hesitated gave the original devil race precious time.
The moment the experts with complete essence divine runes arrived, their opportunity would vanish forever. Kun Gang had forced them all out just to send this message: if they delayed any longer, all would be for naught.
The barrier groaned under the combined assault. Even with everyone holding themselves back to maintain their peak form, the sheer volume of attacks was overwhelming. The barrier thinned rapidly, eventually becoming as fragile as a cicada’s wing, warping under their onslaught.
Yet, even once reduced to this state, its tenacity astonished everyone who witnessed it. Despite so many people attacking the barrier, it did not immediately shatter.
“Interesting,” Kun Gang murmured, a sinister curl at his lips. “To think a formation could hold back power dozens of times greater than itself. Still, it won’t last more than an incense stick’s time. It will break soon.”
Kun Gang and the other young leaders prepared themselves, ready to jump in at any moment.
Just then, the Earth Cauldron quivered slightly. Its runes flared, and blood-colored petals swirled around it.
“You old cauldron, what are you doing? Why summon me now? The formation is about to break, and I’m going to start a massacre!” shouted Evilmoon.
“You won’t have that chance,” the Earth Cauldron said firmly. “I need you to cooperate with me and merge this astral energy.”
“Can’t you do it yourself? There are too many enemies outside. These babies from the original devil race can’t possibly hold them back,” replied Evilmoon.
“I could have, under normal circumstances. But the nine star heirs’ astral energy is being absorbed by the heavenly manifestation above, and it flows into Long Chen, reshaping him. He must absorb more astral energy, as this is the foundation of his nirvanic rebirth. It is like building an astral foundation. The more astral energy he absorbs, the greater his future accomplishments will be.”
“That doesn’t sound right. Didn’t Long Chen say that their astral energy was toxic to him?” demanded Evilmoon.
“Directly absorbing it would be toxic. But through the heavenly screen’s transformation, it becomes pure. As for why that is the case, I’m not sure either. What matters is that things have moved beyond Long Chen’s expectations. We must act with the situation as it is,” the Earth Cauldron replied.
“But...”
Evilmoon saw the barrier shuddering like it was going to break.
“No buts! Long Chen is in his nirvanic rebirth state and somehow produced such a strange manifestation. Such a chance will not come back again!” urged the Earth Cauldron.
Evilmoon was caught in a difficult position.
Long Chen was currently undergoing an enormous transformation, and it was an incredibly rare opportunity. If it failed, it would be the regret of a lifetime. However, if he lost Yue Xiaoqian for this opportunity, he would definitely go crazy.
Evilmoon gritted his teeth. “Fine. But if Long Chen’s little lady dies... I’ll blame you.”
“I will take all the responsibility!” promised the Earth Cauldron.
Hearing that, Evilmoon stopped hesitating. Blood-colored petals flew through the air.
Every petal now had starry spots on it, and the spots multiplied under the principles of the Grand Dao. It wasn’t long before every petal had a starry diagram on it.
The petals seemed to transform into their own miniature universes. The immense power shocked even Evilmoon.
“You old cauldron, are you trying to get me killed? Even my body can’t endure this level of power!” shouted Evilmoon.
“You don’t need to endure it. Just help Long Chen look after it for now. Due to the arrival of the nine star heirs, so much astral energy has descended that Long Chen’s nirvanic rebirth speed cannot keep up with all of it. We need to buy him some time. That’s why you need to work together with me to help Long Chen refine it all.”
“Refine all this astral energy? Even I can’t handle it, and you’re telling me his body can?” Evilmoon asked incredulously.
“In theory, no flesh-and-blood body could contain this. But Long Chen’s rebirth uses three bloodlines as the foundation, with his Supreme Bone as the vessel. He aims to make his entire body astral. It’s like a drop of water holding an entire sea,” the Earth Cauldron explained.
“It’s too complicated. I don’t get it. But if it works, Long Chen will definitely become incredibly powerful.”
“Not just powerful,” said the Earth Cauldron. “Terrifying. This kind of power can’t even be described with words.”
Evilmoon’s excitement surged at those words, only for it to feel like a bucket of ice water had been poured over his head. The barrier had finally reached its limit.
With a thunderous crack, it shattered.
“Kill!”
The moment the barrier broke, the nine star line, the Nine Underworld Shadow Devils, the Kunpeng race, and all the other lifeforms pounced over like hungry wolves.
Space twisted violently as new reinforcements surged in, flooding the skies until the world seemed to drown beneath their presence.
Seeing this, Yue Xiaoqian gritted her teeth. She looked at the Earth Cauldron for a heartbeat, as if saying goodbye to Long Chen. Then, gripping her sword, she unleashed what remained of her original devil power.
She knew full well that the original devil race alone could never withstand such overwhelming might. But if they could buy even a few moments for Long Chen, she was willing to pay with her life.
Heaven and earth trembled. Suddenly, a chariot streaked across the battlefield like a shooting star.
Lightning flashed around it with ear-piercing sounds that shook the world. Its speed was astonishing. Just as everyone thought that it was after the Earth Cauldron, it unexpectedly blasted through the attackers.
“Courting death!”
All the attackers quickly grouped up to stop it, but the chariot detonated in a burst of lightning, annihilating thousands in an instant.
“Damn it, who are you?!” someone shouted.
Their answer came swift and fatal—a lightning arrow that pierced the speaker’s skull.
Through the electric haze, a lone figure appeared: a woman wreathed in lightning with a bow in hand. Her presence was like that of a goddess descended from the storm.
Behind her were tens of thousands of experts with lightning runes around them. They were ready to fight.
“If you want to touch Long Chen, you’ll have to climb over my corpse! Lightning Falcon race, hear my orders! Even if we have to fight to the last person, we will protect Long Chen! Kill!”
Lei Yuner’s cry split the heavens. In response, the Lightning Falcon race’s experts erupted forward, unleashing a blinding sea of lightning that tore through the battlefield.
